Been my experience EGR engines do not have air compressors fed from intake manifold air. Macks seem to draw fresh air from tapping into the ducting somewhere between the air cleaner and the turbo inlet. Usually with a rigid steel line and a couple little leghths or hose on both ends. Great idea as the rigid steel line often rotted or clamps rotted off it and it'd wear through and basically allow the compressor to have no filtration. On the other side ??? those compressors are pretty much bulletproof other than maybe replacing the head assembly . That being said, still doesn't change that short times between cycles is air leaks somewhere after the air compressor discharge port. They can be tricky. Sometimes you may think a little tiny leak means nothing.....but they do.

Wheels of Time has more adds than anything anymore. Used to well worth being a member just for getting that.....now ????

Loctite on the "new" bolt

They're taper leaf. They can be rated fairly high as far as weight goes, and ride better than multi leaf. Usually not too hard to change from one style to the other, but requires more than just different springs. (U bolts, riser blocks, sometimes steering levers)

That setup requires more than a hose and a couple clamps. Weren't they made of Aeroquip with JIC fittings ? That looks like a piece of silicone heater hose on it. That can't put up with 30+ pounds of manifold pressure.

IDK that new HX (?🤔 or whatever it is) is a pretty good looking truck. Not only as new trucks go either. Saw a couple day cabs pulling East dump trailers, they looked great.

And Captain Sig and The Hillstrands thought they had it tough in The Bering Sea.

Doesn't he mean fishermen ? I mean they're just inocent fishermen trying to support their families.

I'm haveing visions of that RW pulling a 36' MACsimizer. 😍

The littler one (in the front) is to engage the PTO. The larger one to the back is the air control for the hoist. Both, the center stays and you sorta lift the flanged (?) part with your index and middle fingers. I wonder if the "button" you're asking about in the corner is the light that looks to be missing it's lense ? Usually that'll have a red lense on it and light up if the PTO is engaged.

I think you are correct. Unless it's rachel's

That's a guy that could use a hug from big mike

I'm gonna hafta Google it. and while I'm at it, I'm gonna Google "boobage" 🤔

Thought it was Somerville or somewhere around there.

Guys use'm over and over and they get mashed into the axle. Then you have to resort to pliers, Visegrips or a small chisel to try and get them off. Pita

I've had them put up a fight over the wedges, and they can be a challenge. So much so I never use them twice anymore. New ones with a little Neversieze and a new gasket. Nothing like coming in at the end of a day, finding a leaky wheel seal....then spending an extra half hour or so getting the axle out. New hardware is cheap. I guess maybe those ag tires might be sorta soft and bounce around easy

He was offered a roll and gave his two week notice. Story is the boss was happy for him and "fired" him right then and there. Not in the angry way, wanted to see him make it. I think he might have lived out by TJC at the time.

Seriously. That looks like something in the 20 to 23 thousand pound range of axle. What the heck could be so stuck in it ? It actually sounds about right when it hits the ground too.

To quote Larry The Cable Guy.....that's some funny $hit right there

I got nothing 🤣

I watched that several times (lol) still can't figure out what's going on there. Almost looks like a piece of plate with the hole welded onto the axle ??? Wonder if it's AI

You may need to Google that one (lol)

Well yeah, there's that . I wonder if that gave him the right to beat her if she wasn't 2 steps behind him ? Next thing will be how wife abuse is perfectly fine and accepted in Minnesota.

Joey should🤣 be embarrassed the Irish guy reacted to that faster than he did
